I'm Still in High School
Chapter 59 Calming Yourself in the Laboratory
Inside the meeting room at New York's Brookhaven National Laboratory looks lively. Tonight is a night of familiarity welcoming Olympic participants from several countries. But only twenty countries joined, and each representative sent two participants, so the number of participants who joined there were 40 people from various countries.
“We sit in front of yukkk.. so we focus more on recognizing who will be the mentor, and who becomes the evaluator.” Cathy took Gwen and the other two colleagues to the front seat.
The four girls immediately headed to a place that was still empty, and they were lucky to be able to join in one round table, so that they did not part. While waiting for the event to officially begin, the four girls chatted. But suddenly…,
“Gwen... is that you…?? When did you come.” suddenly from behind Gwen's seat, someone mentioned her name.
Feeling familiar with the voice, Gwen turned her head and saw the existence of Chakra fellow Olympic participants from the island of Bali which at that time was ranked below it. A smile appears on Gwen's lips, and the girl stands in honor of Chakra.
“I came last night Chakra.., oh yeah introduce these my friends. There's Hikata from Japan, Cathy from Taiwan and this is Selena from canada.” Gwen immediately introduced Chakra to her friends.
Chakra reached out to the three girls, and the three friends welcomed the gesture. Seeing that there was still an empty seat on the round table where they were sitting, Gwen offered the seat to the young man.
“Chakra... have you chosen a seat to sit on..? If not, you can join us, it happens that there is still one seat left.” Gwen told Chakra.
„Really Gwen. The other colleagues had not yet reached the room, thank goodness I got the final seat,” Chakra directly pulled the seat next to Hikata, and the youngster then sat on the chair, which he was,
The three girl friends of Gwen smiled seeing the young man sitting down. They then continued their conversation. Not long after, it was seen that the laboratory officials had already walked into the room. Gwen saw the existence of the Headmaster was running together with the Minister of Education of the Indonesian state. Inwardly, Gwen was flattered that she was not left alone in the country. Just looking at fellow Indonesians, moreover it was the Headmaster where he studied, the girl was already happy, she said,
“Gwen.. is not that the father of the Minister of Education in our country.. I did not expect Mr. Minister to be present here, to appreciate us..” from next to Hikata, Chakra invited Gwen to speak.
“True Chakra.. beside Mr. Minister, it's the Headmaster where I study. Excited really not..” with sparkling eyes, Gwen responded to Chakra's words.
“Hemmhpph... It's fun yes if there is a country friend, can share the story.” suddenly Cathy interrupted the conversation.
Chakra and Gwen turned towards the girl. Hikata and Selena smiled at Cathy. Coincidentally the two also just came alone to the country..
“Rejeki different people Cathy.. We are similar..” Hikata commented on Cathy's statement.
"Ha. ha. ha.., we also did not expect to know and meet when participating in the Olympics in Singapore. I'm sure Hikata also came not, it's just that we didn't have time to meet when in Singapore.’ Gwen explained.
„Truely Gwen. And finally meet again in this country.” Hikata.

After the event, the Minister of Education of Indonesia and Mr. Chandra, as well as the Head of Chakra School, came to Gwen and Chakra. The two young men happily came to the three important people of their country.
“Hi Gwen.. introduce this father Minister of Education.” Mr. Chandra introduces Gwen. After kissing the back of the Headmaster's hand, Gwen then reached out to invite the Minister of Education to shake hands. After that the chakras do the same.
“Okay... How are you two in New York..? Can it adapt quickly.?” the Education Minister asked the condition of the two young people. The number one person in the world of Education in Indonesia, happens to be on assignment in Canada. Once knowing if there were two Olympic participants from Indonesia, the young man quickly left for New York, New York,
“Alhamdulillah can sir, Gwen happened to be here accompanied by family, so it is easier to adjust. And the family is still in the country to accompany Gwen until the show is over.” Gwen responded to those words.
“Oh yes.. whereas there is no cover of transportation costs for escorts yes. You're amazing Gwen. Do not think to win in this Olympics, but a new experience that you prefer to get. By the way, where your family lives today. Is there a family in New York.?” not knowing the background of the Gwen family, the Minister of Education asked innocently.
The Headmaster gestured to the young man, but apparently the man did not look at him.
“My family lives in Pant House Aman Hotel New York Mr. Minister. If there is a chance, maybe my family can meet well.” Not intending to show off, Gwen answered honestly the question.
Everyone standing at the place was shocked to hear Gwen's statement. Anyone knows, in any country the rate of Hotel Aman room, is very high. Not everyone will be able to pay for it, especially the Gwen family stayed at the hotel with a stay of more than two weeks. The room he chose was also the most expensive room. For a moment the Minister of Education fell silent, then turned to look towards the Chakra.
“If I happen to be a real papa from New York sir.. So we have a family home here, and because married to mama, finally papa and family currently live in Bali.” Naturally, Chakra responded to a question from the Minister of Education.
“Okay is fine. Hopefully you two can carry out this heavy duty yes. Our country Indonesia, depends on you both.. Have a good rest, because tomorrow morning the Olympic series is about to begin. Remember When you hold laboratory equipment yes, do not fall because of the impact tone that affects the assessment.” Finally after a while of conversation, the Minister of Education finally invited the two accompanying Principals to leave the place.
Gwen and Chakra lead the important men to the exit. After confirming the three people who were then greeted by their aides, the two young men immediately headed back to their place.
“Gwen... do I need to take you to your rest room.” When they reached the intersection, Chakra asked the girl.
“No Chakra required, just two blocks from this crossroad. You go to your own room well.” does not want to trouble Chakra, Gwen rushed to deflect her steps. Chakra remained standing until gwen left him alone. After making sure Gwen was safe, Chakra finally turned his back, heading back to his own room.
